The only consolation for Lorena Ochoa was a one-shot lead in the Kraft Nabisco Championship in Rancho Mirage.

Just when it looked as though Ochoa would seize control of the first major of the year, she three-putted for bogey on two of the final four holes and settled for a 1-under 71 on Saturday, with only one shot separating her from Hee-Won Han.

The Mexican star must know by now that this major won’t come easily.

Despite opening the back nine with three straight birdies to build a two-shot lead and loads of momentum, Ochoa gave it away with an aggressive three-putt on the 15th, and by chopping her way up the 18th in the rough and the sand.

Han had a 70 and will play in the final group of a major for the first time.

“It was an up and down day,” Ochoa said. “Today was difficult golf. It was hard from tee to green.”

U.S. Women’s Open champion Cristie Kerr was all but forgotten until finishing a 66 before the leaders made the turn, leaving her in the group only two shots behind.

Annika Sorenstam suffered stomach cramps so severe that she nearly walked off the course after 10 holes, but tried to gut it out and is glad she did. Sorenstam had four birdies on the back nine for a 73, and was only four shots behind.

Going into the final round, 14 players were separated by five shots.

• Johnson Wagner says he’s struggled too much on the PGA Tour to apologize when things finally go his way. Wagner got lucky bounces on two tee shots and shot a 3-under 69 to take a one-shot lead over Chad Campbell after the third round of the Houston Open. The 28-year-old Wagner, winless in 43 career starts, had a 15-under 201 total.

• Mark Wiebe shot a 4-under 68 to take a three-stroke lead over Scott Hoch in the Champions Tour’s Cap Cana Championship in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

Wiebe’s bogey-free round, highlighted by an eagle-birdie run, pushed him to 9-under 135. He had a chance for a bigger lead, but missed three-foot birdie putts on the par-3 fourth hole and the par-5 12th.

• J.J. Killeen bogeyed No. 4, had four birdies between holes Nos. 5 and 10 and was 4-over for the final six holes. And he still remains in total command of the Livermore Valley Wine Country Championship.

After a wildly unpredictable third round in blustery conditions at the Course at Wente Vineyards, Killeen holds a four-shot lead over Tom Gillis, Joe Daley and Aron Price.

• Stanford freshman Michelle Wie has accepted a sponsor exemption to play in the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic in suburban Toledo, Ohio this summer.

In addition to evacuating 10 neighboring homes, deputies restricted pedestrian and vehicle traffic in the area while the sheriff's office bomb squad "safely disposed" of the explosives, officials said.
